When Your Camera Acts Up

I woke up early this morning with the idea of starting with one of the island hopping tours offered here in El Nido. I prepared my swimming clothes beforehand and other essentials I would possibly need. One of the staff in-charge with the tours told me that only the Tour A is offered today and some of the other guests are booked already.

Being the photo freak that I am, I startedÂ taking pictures of the view from my breakfast table then bam bam boom â€“ my camera starts acting up again!

My dilemma started when we were in Malaysia while we were in Cameron Highlands. Being a picturesque place with the tea plantation and all, I already had plans for the blog contest and the videos. Unfortunately, my camera got broken when we were on our way to the Rafflesia â€“ in the middle of the forest! I’m just glad that Edgar was there to take pictures and videos. I am more than thankful that at least, someone’s there to record the whole experience.

Right now, I am here in El Nido, Palawan for a one-week solo trip. Electricity is off from 6am â€˜till 2pm. Toinks. What to do? The waves are quite strong and all I can do right now is enjoy the view and try to write. Maybe this is the right time to be productive. See, I am writing a blog post now!

I am hoping that I’d be able to have this camera fixed later. My phone is unreliable too when it comes to taking pictures and recording videos. Oh well.

Have you experience anything similar in the past? Don’t you just feel bad whenever your camera or memory card starts acting up while you’re in a nice place?

This is why I always bring a back up. I have two point and click cameras, a go pro video and camera, and my phone. I cannot afford a really good DSLR camera right now, so I compensate by having many cheap cameras. If one doesn’t work, I just take out the other. Sometimes I feel like the matrix except cameras instead of guns.
